HYDROGARBON-BU RN ER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 597,197, dated January 11 1898. Application filed April 20, 1,895. Serial ll'o. 546,476. (No modeh) To all wiz/0m] t may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE E. HAGGERTY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springwells, county of lVayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in I'Iydrocarbon-Burners; and I declare the following to he a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference beihghad to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to burners for hydrocarbon oils, and has for its object an improved form of burner which is especially applicable for the combustion of the heavier grades of hydrocarbon oils, commercially known as kerosencs or parain-oil.

In the drawings, Figure l shows the burner in elevation. Fig. 2 shows a cross-section at the line .r of Fig. l.

A indicates a large angular pipe reduced at the inlet end a to the size of the feed-pipe, with which it connects through an interposed valve Y). l

B indicates the feed-pipe, connecting with any convenientsource of supply of the hydro'- carbon oils. The pipe A bends sharplytwice at right angles from the horizontal inlet C, extending with a vertical upturn o, and then continuing with a horizontal branch I), at the extremity of which, surrounding it, is a chamber or hollow ball E, preferably cast integral with the part A. At the upper extremity of the hollow ball E is an air-inlet pipe e, leading to some distance from the burner and open at the end for the free inlet of air. The horizontal part D of the main pipe crosses centrally through the ball or chamber E and is provided at its lower side with a gas-exit orifice F, opening downward, and at the under side of the hollow ball or chamber E is an opening f, through which escapes downward the gas issuing from the orifice F, mingled with air that comes throughthe pipe e through the chamber E and mingles with the gas or vapor issuing from the orifice F between that oriiice and .the opening f. The

mingled gas and air are iired at their point of exit through the opening f and burned downward against a metal plate G, which deflects the flame somewhat, directing it especially against the pipe A, which becomes heated and forms the generating-chamber, the part c being especially utilized for generating and superheating the oil and vapor of oil, as shown in the drawings; also, the iiame issuing from the oriiicef is directed against the air-inlet pipe and heats the same, thereby furnishing heated air to unite with the heated gas. The two heated components of the `flame produce a very intense flame and perfect combustion.

The gas-generator is constructed to secure economy with full efliciency. The increasing surface permits the freest development of vapors under proper tension in the upper part or reservoir D, while the bend and the upright portion c present the oil to the heating eifect of the flame. The relations of the generator and the other parts are the simplest possible and secure in a compact space an economical application of the flame to insure the uniform supply of air and oil vapors and to secure perfect combustion.

The construction and arrangement of the elements `are altogether exceedingly effective in heating the air and gas and mixing them and in delivering the mixture.

That I claim is- A gas-generating burner containing a gasgenerator increasing the internal area from its inlet to its outlet and comprising a rising portion and a lateral portion having a downward gas-outlet, a chamber through which the lateral portion of the gas-generator crosses, having a downward outlet registering with the outlet of the generator, a pipe rising alongside of and communicating with the chamber above the lateral portion of the gas-generator and a plate beneath the burner for deflecting the flame against the air-pipe and the gasgenerator, as and for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof I sign this specification in the presence of two Witnesses.

GEORGE E. HAGGERTY.
